Hung Gar is a northern shaolin system developed by a tea merchant who studied at the shaolin temple. This system is derived from a combination of Tiger and Crane fighting observations with weapons applications as well as chin-na (joint-locking) techniques. Wong Fei Hung (Once Upon a Time in China) was the most famous grandmaster. HG is also known for it's effective kicking and the strength of its practioners as it is termed often as a "hard" system as opposed to Wing Chun which is a "soft" system.
Not every system is perfect for everybody. I'd give it a month before settling down. Oh, and don't forget your martial arts etiquette when entering and leaving the training hall and when you are with senior students.
